<h4 class="subsubsection">9.21.2.1 Symbolic Operand Modifiers</h4>

<a name="index-M32C-modifiers"></a>
<a name="index-modifiers_002c-M32C"></a>

<p>The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
in M32C instruction operands.  The general syntax is the following:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">%modifier(symbol)
</pre></div>

<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-symbol-modifiers-2"></a>

</dd>
<dt><code>%dsp8</code></dt>
<dt><code>%dsp16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>These modifiers override the assembler&rsquo;s assumptions about how big a
symbol&rsquo;s address is.  Normally, when it sees an operand like
&lsquo;<samp>sym[a0]</samp>&rsquo; it assumes &lsquo;<samp>sym</samp>&rsquo; may require the widest
displacement field (16 bits for &lsquo;<samp>-m16c</samp>&rsquo;, 24 bits for
&lsquo;<samp>-m32c</samp>&rsquo;).  These modifiers tell it to assume the address will fit
in an 8 or 16 bit (respectively) unsigned displacement.  Note that, of
course, if it doesn&rsquo;t actually fit you will get linker errors.  Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.w %dsp8(sym)[a0],r1
mov.b #0,%dsp8(sym)[a0]
</pre></div>

</dd>
<dt><code>%hi8</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 23 of a 24 bit
address into an 8 bit register.  This is useful with, for example, the
M16C &lsquo;<samp>smovf</samp>&rsquo; instruction, which expects a 20 bit address in
&lsquo;<samp>r1h</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>a0</samp>&rsquo;.  Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.b #%hi8(sym),r1h
mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
smovf.b
</pre></div>

</dd>
<dt><code>%lo16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Likewise, this modifier allows you to load bits 0 through 15 of a 24
bit address into a 16 bit register.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>%hi16</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This modifier allows you to load bits 16 through 31 of a 32 bit
address into a 16 bit register.  While the M32C family only has 24
bits of address space, it does support addresses in pairs of 16 bit
registers (like &lsquo;<samp>a1a0</samp>&rsquo; for the &lsquo;<samp>lde</samp>&rsquo; instruction).  This
modifier is for loading the upper half in such cases.  Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">mov.w #%hi16(sym),a1
mov.w #%lo16(sym),a0
&hellip;
lde.w [a1a0],r1
</pre></div>

</dd>
</dl>
